He was supposed to be the competition.
Mateo Alvarez has a plan.
Finish his senior season. Lead the Iron Ridge Titans to a championship. Secure his future in professional basketball.
Simple.
Predictable.
Controlled.
Then Elijah Brooks transfers in.
Elijah is talented enough to challenge anyone, confident enough to annoy everyone, and somehow impossible to ignore. At first, Mateo tells himself he's paying attention because that's what point guards do. Leaders notice things. Leaders watch film. Leaders study their teammates.
So why does he keep noticing things that have nothing to do with basketball?
The way Elijah always knows when someone is struggling before they say a word.
The way he turns every conversation into a challenge.
The way Mateo starts looking for him without realizing he's doing it.
As the season intensifies, practices become habits, habits become expectations, and expectations become something Mateo can't explain away. The closer they get, the harder it becomes to pretend Elijah is just another teammate.
Because somewhere between road trips, late-night conversations, and long hours inside Titan Arena, Elijah became more than part of the season.
He became part of Mateo's life.
And for the first time, the future Mateo planned so carefully isn't the future he wants anymore.
The Point Guard Problem is an emotional M/M college sports romance featuring teammates-to-lovers tension, slow-burn attraction, basketball season pressure, found family, awakening romance, and a hero who realizes he's been looking at the right person all along.
