The Hawk’s Way series by Joan Johnston follows the Whitelaw family, who own a large Texas ranch called Hawk’s Way. Starting with A Little Time in Texas (1992), each book pairs a different Whitelaw sibling or cousin with a love interest, following the category romance format of focused, single-couple stories within a larger family framework. Characters like Dallas, Jesse, Adam, Faron, Garth, Carter, Falcon, and others each get their own book.
The series ran from 1992 to 2010, with individual novels and several collected editions like Hawk’s Way Rogues, Hawk’s Way Bachelors, and Hawk’s Way Brides grouping related books together. Johnston used the large Whitelaw family to generate a long-running series without repeating herself, since each book brings a different personality and situation. The Texas ranch setting ties everything together, and characters from earlier books appear in later ones as the family grows.
