A rookie sportswriter uncovers a conspiracy in the first of the quirky Foul Ball series.
SHE’S OFF AND RUNNING
Rookie sportswriter Cat McDaniel is on deck in Sin City for the job of a lifetime with baseball’s hottest team. The Las Vegas Chips have the best record in baseball, snagging two trophies in their first three years.
THE BOYFRIENDS OF SUMMER
Cat’s new boss, Erich König, is a German wunderkind and the Desert’s most eligible bachelor. Then there’s her neighbor—a biology professor whose fetal pigs know more about baseball than he does.
THE OTHER DUGOUT
As the team’s junior reporter, Dusty Carlyle was on-deck for Cat’s position. Now he’s desperate to get her out of the lineup. Save for the scheming coworker, Cat has everything she ever wanted…
FOUL TERRITORY
Until a star outfielder’s heart stops. Suspecting that his death was no accident, Cat starts asking around, becoming the newest player in an extreme game of hardball. Will she become the next member of the team to be taken out of the lineup?

If you want to know what really goes on behind the scenes in baseball, and also be entertained by a wickedly funny, juicy mystery, Big Leagues is your ticket to the ballpark.
Cat is the kind of character you’ll want to see a lot more of. She’s brilliant but flawed, awkward yet graceful, strong but endearingly vulnerable. I rooted for her, feared for her and in the end fell in love with her.
As a sportswriter who covered the Yanks and Mets for 19 years, I can say without question Jen Estes covers all the bases in showing fans a world they never get to see. She throws high hard ones at players, flaks and front office big wigs – and it all rings true. I can’t wait to see what Jen Estes has on deck for us in the next book in this series. Big Leagues is a walk-off home run!
Book three in series. Excitement and tension begin on the first day of filming a Restoration drama on location at the historic Jacobean mansion, Ham House in Surrey.
