Daria has taken a temporary night manager job at the Woo
Woo Inn, a cozy inn located in New Jersey. She has some
serious snatching to take care of to prove that she's Harpy
material for Hades. Daria is looking for the most wicked
victim to take to Tartarus to prove to Hades that she can
follow in the footsteps of her mother and her aunt. She
knows a judge has been sent to the inn to watch her every
move.
The fates are against Daria. A cosmic troublemaker named
Sparkle has decided that Daria needs some sex in her life
and who better to pair her with but Declan MacKenzie, a 900-
year-old vampire who drips sexy.
Most Harpies are hideous and extremely proud of it. They
are vicious and heartless creatures, half-man and half-
vulture, and have the power to stay in human form until
they mark their victim. This is when they turn into the
hideous creature who grasps the victim in its talons to
cart off to Hades. Daria isn't so lucky, since her father
is a god named Apollo. And Daria and her twin brother, Kel,
take after his good looks. Even though Kel has used his
magic to make Daria somewhat ugly, they don't want to scare
off customers. Declan is attracted to Daria. Vampires don't
feel much, especially after 900 years, but Daria does
something to him. She makes him care. Daria has bet Sparkle
that she can resist Declan. It's a bet she is destined to
lose.
Some guests at the Woo Woo have been killed and Declan is
investigating the tragedies along with another cosmic
troublemaker who runs the inn. They discover that the
killer is gaining strength and plans to end life on earth
and become a god.
The cosmic troublemakers have some trouble of their own and
Daria isn't proving herself to be Harpy material; she likes
people too much. Declan can't resist Daria and it's not
because Sparkle has worked her magic on the two of them.
ONE BITE STAND is a light, humorous and sensual story with
ingredients that can only add up to a satisfying
conclusion. Nina Bangs has a great sense of humor
and her own take on magic and vampires and romance.
Harpies don't get callbacks. That's why Daria's job as night
manager of the Woo Woo Inn is the opportunity of several
lifetimes. Where better to prove that in the
snatch-and-dispatch business she has CEO potential? So what
if she doesn't really fit the corporate image. So what if
she has to nurture her inner bitch to compete. And triple so
what if she'd rather take Declan MacKenzie to bed than on a
one-way all-expense-paid trip to Tartarus. His sexy blue
eyes and hard male body lure her into deep and dangerous
erotic waters. With a monster eating guests for its midnight
snack, cosmic troublemakers cooking up chaos and Declan
making serious moves on her, this looks like a lot more than
a... One Bite Stand.
