To Raina Petkoff and her fiancée Sergi love is chivalry, honour, glamour, and gallantry. We join their story on the eve of Sergei’s accidental, and some might say foolhardy, triumph in battle. His cavalry charge scatters the Austrian invaders and the Swiss mercenaries, and by some twist of fate one of those mercenaries finds his way onto Raina’s moonlit balcony. A mercenary who carries chocolate instead of bullets, who needs the wit of a woman to save him, and in exchange turns her life upside down.

Bernard Shaw uses his unmatched ability with words to shine a light on how love can be the catalyst to break down the barriers that class and prejudice create through a romantic comedy which will warm your heart.
