What book features the most damaged (emotionally and/or physically)hero that you've ever read?

Synnam Butler in Simply Love comes to mind for me as does Robert in England's Perfect Hero, although most likely there are heroes far more damaged than either of them--I just adore those two heroes though and both books make me cry.

Ciaran Tamberlane of My Forever Love by Marsha Canham is pretty tortured.

Lord of Scoundrels, of course.

Ethan, If You Deceive by Kresley Cole

Nicholas, Ride the Fire by Pamela Clare 

Hands down that would be Ken Norton in Christine Feehan's Deadly Game, in her Ghostwalker series.  That was my favorite book in her series.

Zsadist from Lover Awakened- JR Ward  (one of my favorite bks)

Christian Langland - Flowers From the Storm - Laura Kinsale

Sheridan from Seize the Fire  - Laura Kinsale

Samuel Gerard - Shadow and the Star - Laura Kinsale

Cain from Bond of Blood Roberta Gellis.

Hands down, Gabriel from Broken Wing by Judith James.

These are good. Gonna add a few more:

Trey Hawthorne from Devotion by Catherine Sutcliffe

Sam from Forever by Theresa Weir

Troy from The Lily Brand by Sandra Schwab

Just a few, I can probably come up with more :)

Hands down, Gabriel from Broken Wing by Judith James.

I agree!

 Hands down, Gabriel from Broken Wing by Judith James.  

Christian Langland - Flowers From the Storm - Laura Kinsale

These are my first and second place winners.  

I also would include as the third entry,    Hamish McRae of To Love a Scottish Lord by Karen Ranney.  I can't forget what they did to this guy and for such a long time.

And fourth place would be Sir Alistair Munroe in To Beguile a Beast by Elizabeth Hoyt. 

I am sure there are others that qualify, but these are the ones I have read.

Michael from The Lover by Robin Schone.  Poor man can't even eat.

I second Zsadist from Lover, Awakened.  

For emotionally damaged - Sean from Stormfire by Christine Monson - Lord was that book a wild emotional ride!

Gabriel from Gabriel's Woman by Robin Schone

James from Moonrise by Anne Stuart

Houston from Texas Destiny by Lorraine Heath

Asher from Amazon Lily by Theresa Weir

Can't forget Thomas from Winter Garden by Adele Ashworth

And of course Ian from The Maddness of Lord Ian Mackenzie by Jennifer Ashley
