The Traveller

By Elizabeth Reed

Sasha finds her world torn apart when she is driven away from the home she has known for her entire life by her master’s new wife, the cruel and jealous Gabriella.
As a slave, Sasha knows she must accept her fate, and her fate rests in the hands of Lord Joseph Drake from a neighbouring estate, who is to be her new master. He has paid a very high price to purchase her.
The thought of Lord Drake being her new master makes Sasha feel very anxious, especially as she suspects that he is a hated ‘Traveller’ who possesses a magical ability to disconnect from his physical body while asleep and travel with his spirit self into the physical world as well as the dream world of men.
But when Sasha finally meets Lord Drake, instead of being afraid of what he is, Sasha cannot help but feel a very strong attraction to her new owner!

As long as I can remember I have always loved everything and anything to do with the romance genre. Enjoying writing, reading and watching a wide range of love stories. I am a true romantic at heart! So after studying for a philosophy degree and then going on to work in a corporate job in advertising, I decided to reconnect with my passion again! I now write mainly romance short stories, with the aim to share all of my ideas with others who also have an interest in romantic fiction. I write in a range of romance subgenres including erotic romance, contemporary, sweet, paranormal/fantasy fiction and historical. I hope to continue writing as long as my ideas keep flowing out from my mind. In early 2014 I experienced my own personal love story, when I married my one true love. I now live together with my husband in London.

Chapter 1

‘Sasha, I am so sorry it has come to this, that I now need to sell you!’

‘Please, Lord Maxwell, do not explain. Your family have been very generous and kind to me. I understand.’ Sasha smiled up at her old owner.

‘It’s just that with father now gone, and my new wife in charge of running the household, I feel as if my hands are tied. I have no choice. I need the coin, and you will be safer away from Gabriella’s reach!’ Maxwell could not help but explain, to try and cover up his feelings of guilt, ignoring Sasha’s words of acceptance.

But he need not have bothered. Sasha had already resigned herself up to her fate, and understood that Lord Maxwell wouldn’t have been selling her if he didn’t have to, but he had married an extravagant, jealous bride who had not taken well to Sasha inhabiting the same building.

Gabriella had not liked how all the household slaves and Lord Maxwell himself had gravitated to Sasha for guidance and advice on the various duties that needed to be completed around Gabriella’s new home and the land that surrounded it.

But Sasha could not help the situation: she had grown up in the Maxwell household. She had been taken there from the slave market as a young child by the late Lord George Maxwell, who had only just recently passed away to be replaced by his son John as the head of the Maxwell estate. George Maxwell had taken a fondness to her straightaway and had treated her more as what she had thought to be like a daughter than a slave. He had said so fondly himself at times when he had been alive, allowing her certain freedoms that the other
