Elmie Yan's new book "My Australian Prince" (published by Trafford Publishing), tells a story of migration set in Western Australia's rugged Kalgoorlie-Boulder, the archipelago of the Southern Ocean, and Paris.

Alain James Goldenbough, endowed with magnetic handsomeness and intelligence, is born in 1960 into Western Australia's richest family. Their wealth emanates from the 1893 Gold Rush of the famed mining twin-towns of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Alain's famous colorful posy since the age of 10 is the symbol of his high regard for women, and the "New Mothers Paradise" is his brainchild. For his only love, Elizabeth Sinclair, he reserves the red rose-posy and he leads them both to a vow of virginity.

Together with Elizabeth, he must face his two legacies - the only-child Goldenbough Australian ancestry and his maternal Montagne French heritage. Elizabeth must help him, but it seems that his heart that softens to women's needs will not know "the mysteries beneath Elizabeth's crescent smile and lake-look aquamarine eyes."

Yan writes a story of one's selfish scheme of power, which aims to preserve his wealth and legacy, showing how selfishness can be defeated by selfless love.
