Hazel Thorne thought her biggest worry on her first day of university would be finding her dorm room, but instead she discovers she’s not even human. 
Welcome to the world of Greys, where she’s apparently part of some ancient “Spark Bond” that ties her to not one, but five incredibly powerful men who each seem determined to either protect her or drive her completely insane. 
There’s Rhys with his charming smile that makes her forget her own name, dangerously broken Jaxon who looks like he’s ready to burn the world down, brilliant Silas who might actually be related to her, fiercely loyal Ronan who’d probably take a bullet for her, and Headmaster Kaelen Vance who keeps insisting their connection is a mistake even while his eyes say otherwise. 
But Hazel’s crash course in supernatural politics gets deadly serious when Magnus Sterling and his rogue faction decide she’s the key to taking over the human world, and suddenly everyone wants a piece of her unique heritage. Just when she thinks she’s getting the hang of her new abilities and navigating the complicated dynamics with her five bonds, she ends up pregnant and a devastating attack tears her away from the men she’s grown to love. 
Now she’s fighting a war on two fronts, trying to master powers she barely understands while protecting not just her own life, but the lives of her mates and the fate of both the human and Grey worlds, all with enemies closing in who seem to know more about her past than she does herself.

Her Fated Five Mates

"What is the age of consent in your country?" Ethan repeated, his smirk growing wider as he leaned forward in his seat.


The classroom fell silent. Every eye was on me, waiting. My face burned hot with embarrassment and anger.


"Eighteen," I answered, trying to keep my voice steady. "But it varies by state. In some places it's sixteen."


The statement triggered an immediate ripple of whispers. I caught fragments—"sixteen?" and "so young" and "without bonds?"—that made my skin crawl. I hadn't realized answering a simple fact would cause such a reaction.


Ethan's eyes gleamed with something predatory. "So humans just sleep with whoever they want? No bonds required?" 


"That's not what I said," I replied, my hands curling into fists on my desk. "I just answered about the legal age."


"So," Ethan pressed, leaning further forward, "did you ever sleep with someone who wasn't your bond, back in the human world?"
