Eagle Crest Heiress (Flashover Series Book 3)
About
Barbara Strathmore has spent her entire life beneath the shadow of oil derricks, private jets, and impossible expectations.
At thirty, the daughter of legendary Oklahoma oil magnate Charles Strathmore appears to have everything: wealth, beauty, influence, and a future already mapped out among politicians, investors, and old-money elites at the sprawling Eagle Crest Ranch outside Tulsa. But beneath the polished surface, Barbara feels trapped in a world where every relationship is transactional, and every decision belongs to her family. Then she meets Kevin McKesson.
Kevin is a firefighter in Tulsa; quiet, rough around the edges, tattooed, guarded, and carrying the invisible scars of war. A former combat aviator who flew missions over Afghanistan, Kevin left the military with crippling PTSD, insomnia, and a constant need to outrun the noise in his own head. Firefighting became the only thing that made him feel alive again: the danger, the adrenaline, the brotherhood, the purpose.
To Barbara’s parents, Kevin is exactly the kind of man their daughter should avoid: blue collar, emotionally damaged, and beneath the social standing of the Strathmore empire. What they don’t know is that Kevin isn’t who he appears to be.
Kevin is the estranged son of the billionaire founders of McKesson Pharmaceuticals, heir to one of the most powerful pharmaceutical fortunes in the United States. Though he walked away from the corporate world years ago, Kevin still quietly owns millions in company shares and remains the reluctant heir apparent to the empire his aging father desperately wants him to return and lead in Dallas.
But Kevin doesn’t want boardrooms. He wants meaning.
As Barbara and Kevin fall deeper in love, their worlds begin to collide. Barbara is torn between loyalty to her family and the first man who has ever seen her as something other than a business asset. Kevin, meanwhile, is forced to confront the truth he’s been avoiding: the same adrenaline and leadership instincts that drive him into burning buildings may also be what the pharmaceutical company and thousands of employees desperately need.
When devastating events threaten both families, Barbara and Kevin must decide whether love is enough to withstand the pressures of legacy, wealth, trauma, and expectations.

At its heart, Eagle Crest Heiress is a steamy and sweeping contemporary romance about identity, class division, inherited power, and the search for purpose after war. It blends firefighter realism, oil-country wealth, family dynasty drama, and emotional healing into a story about two people
