Major William Haggart of the Guard Dragoons is a close friend of Gwilym, earl of Banallt. Bill is home from the wars, permanently disabled by a leg wound. He's slowly recovering and knows he's lucky to have kept his leg. He's known Banallt since their days at Rugby School and understands the earl better than just about anyone. Though Bill disapproves of Banallt's sexual adventures, he understands what drives Banallt and keeps his peace when he sees the state his friend is in over Miss Pansy Emily. Bill's step-brother is the Marquess of Sedelscombe and he's sworn to help Sedelscombe find his long lost sisters.
Major Haggart is the fictional namesake of Bill Haggart, member of RWA's The Beau Monde chapter and expert on all things military. Bill, thanks for your expertise.
