My Forbidden Desire By Carolyn Jewel
Publish Date: June 1, 2009
From GoodReads:
TORN BETWEEN...
Alexandrine Marit is a witch in mortal danger. An evil mage craves the powerful, mysterious talisman that supplies her magic, and the only person who can keep her safe is a dark and dangerous fiend called Xia. With his fierce animosity toward witches, he's hardly the ideal bodyguard. Yet as days turn into nights, she can't deny the white-hot passion between them.
DESIRE AND TEMPTATION
Xia hates witches. They enslave and mercilessly kill his kind. But he's been ordered to protect Alexandrine, who, to his surprise, has a spirit he admires and a body he longs to possess. With the mage and his henchmen closing in, Alexandrine and her protector must trust the passion that can unite them...or risk losing everything to the enemies who can destroy them both.

+1 - My favorite bad boy is a reformed bad boy, my husband. There are other bad boys I like and they are military guys that I work with. Dexter is a favorite Bad Boy from TV, although I wouldn't want to meet a serial killer in person! In books there are sooo many! How about Lora Leigh hero, in every series not just the Breeds books.
