Doomed to Repeat It

by D.G.K. Goldberg

It's a miracle that sassy, self-proclaimed punk-cowgirl Layla Mac Donald hasn't gone off the deep Her mother gruesomely murdered in one of Charlotte, North Carolina's most scandalous love triangles, 'Daddy-Useless' drinking himself into despair, another temp job leading nowhere fast, and the painful memories of her boyfriend's abuse still as fresh as open wounds. Till she meets Ian. And suddenly, dormant desires are awakened. Madness is unleashed. Surreal violence explodes. Because Ian is a ghost... The wandering ghost of an 18th century Scottish rebel, compelled by dark forces neither he nor Layla understand, seeking vengeance for 300 year-old horrors from the bloody highland battlefields. Their fates are bound together, and Ian is driven to protect Layla, with violent consequences, as madness and lust simmer amidst the ethereal world of lost spirits. Now under suspicion for Ian's rampages, the law's on Layla's tail, and her only escape may be to join her spirit lover, both of them doomed to repeat an endless cycle of ghostly horrors.
