He's the star player losing his shot. I'm the invisible analyst who knows how to fix it.

Tyson Maddox is Falconer University's golden god. A top-ten NBA draft prospect with a killer three-point shot and a smile that melts cameras. But six games ago, the magic stopped. Now he's 4-for-19 from the field, his draft stock is tanking, and he's falling apart on national television.

I'm Lane Vance. To the team, I'm just "the video guy"—furniture with a statistics degree. I'm the guy in the oversized hoodie who watches from the shadows. But I see what the coaches don't. I know exactly why Ty is missing.

When I find him breaking down in the tunnel after a loss, I don't just offer a stat sheet. I offer a fix.

Ty makes me a counter-offer: Come to his apartment. Tonight. Just the two of us. He calls it "Netflix and drills."

I should say no. The university has a zero-tolerance policy on staff sleeping with players, and risking my scholarship for a crush I've had for three years is professional suicide. But when Ty looks at me with those desperate amber eyes, the data goes out the window.

We started with biomechanics. We ended up with me against the shower wall.

Now I'm not just fixing his shot; I'm falling for the man behind the jersey. But we're playing a dangerous game. If the wrong person finds out, Ty loses his draft spot, and I lose everything.

The stats say we have zero chance of making this work. But for the first time in my life, I'm ready to ignore the odds.

Chill & Drill is a high-heat, low-angst M/M sports romance featuring a size difference, a competence kink, secret dating, and a guaranteed HEA.
