The Locker Room opens Meghan Quinn's minor-league baseball rom-com series, introducing the fictional small-market team through a fake-relationship premise for its central couple.

The Dugout is the second Brentwood Boys book, moving from The Locker Room's fake-relationship setup to a forbidden attraction between a player and a teammate's sister. Published in 2019 at 360 pages, it keeps the same rotating-couple structure against the backdrop of long bus rides and a team chasing the majors.

About The Brentwood Boys
The Brentwood Boys is Meghan Quinn's eight-book minor-league baseball rom-com series, following the players of a fictional small-market team through a rotating cast of central couples. The Locker Room, The Dugout, and The Lineup open the run in 2019, with each book centered on a different player finding an unlikely match -- a fake relationship, a forbidden attraction to a teammate's sister, a grumpy-sunshine pairing -- against the backdrop of long bus rides, locker-room ribbing, and a team trying to make it to the majors. The Trade, The Change Up, and The Setup continue through 2020, and The Strike Out and The Perfect Catch close the series in 2021.
Quinn's trademark broad comedy and banter-heavy voice runs through all eight books, with recurring teammates and coaching staff giving the series a lived-in, connected-locker-room feel even as the central couple changes every time. It's aimed at readers who want her sports-romance sense of humor at series length, in the same comic register as her Vancouver Agitators and Cane Brothers books.
