When the imperious Alston, Marquis of Falcon cynically announces that he is interested in marrying his daughter in order to gain a Royal appointment, the Earl of Warnborough is thoroughly pleased.

There would be many benefits to being part of his far richer neighbour’s family and estates! But the beautiful Mirabel is already betrothed and so is Deirdre, albeit secretly, which leaves only Elmina, the youngest and the Cinderella of the Warne family.

Nevertheless they are all shocked when she shyly says that she will be happy to marry the dashing Marquis.

But not as stunned as her new husband when she repels his wedding night advances with an expert Karate move!

Self-educated and schooled in the martial and equine arts, Elmina blossoms inwardly and outwardly with an unusual allure of her own.

Author’s note
Author’s noteThe basic psychological principles of Karate are concentration, calmness and confidence. Bare-handed fighting was being developed in both India and China before Bodhidharma first arrived in China in 520 AD. He was however, called the ‘original propagator of the Martial Arts concept’. With the special breathing technique he created the basis for the legendary system of weaponless fighting and mental concentration. Kung Fu was Buddhist-inspired and for centuries Buddhist monks in China and Japan have studied Kempo. Ju Jitsu differs in that blows are struck not with the clenched fist but with the minor or little finger edge of the palm. Ju Jitsu does not depend as much on the psychological side of the art as Karate. On the monument of its most famous teacher, Funakoshi, is written, There are no offensive techniques in Karate.
