Hmmm. Does Zephyr from Alaya Dawn Johnson's Moonshine count? She comes from a vampire hunter family, but is herself an earnest activist and volunteer with no supernatural powers to speak of. It does, however, include 'my djinn boyfriend.'

And another 'my immortal boyfriend' one -- Tananarive Due's My Soul to Keep has a protagonist who is an investigative journalist and married to a creepy member of a SECRET IMMORTAL SOCIETY. There are sequels, which I think focus on their secret immortal daughter, who would obviously not qualify.

Another question: does it count if everyone else thinks the protagonist has magical powers, even if it later turns out they don't? The (boring) protagonist in China Mieville's Kraken is widely rumored to be the GREAT SQUID PROPHET but it all later turns out to be a misunderstanding.
