The Sparhawk series is Miranda Jarrett’s flagship work, spanning ten books published between 1992 and 1997. It begins with Columbine (1992) and follows multiple generations of the Sparhawk family, a clan of seafarers and adventurers in Colonial New England. Major entries include Spindrift (1993), Mariah’s Prize (1994), Desire My Love (1994), and Sparhawk’s Lady (1995), each bringing a new Sparhawk to center stage. The series has a strong sense of place, rooted in the harbors and coastlines of early America. Jarrett pairs the historical setting with romance, moving each couple through dangers at sea, family feuds, and the social pressures of Colonial life. Later books like Sparhawk’s Angel (1996) and The Secrets of Catie Hazard (1997) broadened the family tree further. The Sparhawk series remains a standout in Colonial American romance for its attention to period detail and its large, interconnected cast.
