Believing only controlled visitors should use the front door, she weighs hiding versus presenting herself as the manor’s steady servant. The arrival becomes a deliberate test of boundaries, with a cold, sarcastic male insisting on access, forcing her to manage the door, the iron bar, and her composure as winter and uncertainty press in.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2025 by Alexandra Bristol All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means, including information storage and retrieval systems, without written permission from the author, except for the use of brief quotations in a book review.  \nCover design by GetCovers  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nFor the practical, anxious creatures who want more  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPlease move forward with caution as you’re about to encounter a FFM Why Choose Romance full of explicit content and mature themes.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nChapter 1  \nChapter 2  \nChapter 3  \nChapter 4  \nChapter 5  \nChapter 6  \nChapter 7  \nChapter 8  \nChapter 9  \nChapter 10  \nChapter 11  \nChapter 12  \nChapter 13  \nChapter 14  \nChapter 15  \nChapter 16  \nChapter 17  \nChapter 18  \nChapter 19  \nChapter 20  \nChapter 21  \nChapter 22  \nChapter 23  \nPlease Leave A Review Also by Alexandra Bristol About the Author  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nONE THING you should know about me is I always hated when people rang the front bell. It interrupted my reading.  \nMy frustration seemed particularly worse the first time I met Baz Coldwell.  \nIt was early in the morning, and if I’d had any sense of selfpreservation, I’d have spent the time eating breakfast. Instead, I’d settled on my book and sighed at the interruption.  \nI’d finally arrived at the heroine killing the dragon rider and plucking his heart from his chest, when the sharp buzz of the bell cut in. Used so rarely, my shoulders jerked, and the book slipped from my hands, leading toa mad fumble to save it from the ground.  \nDespite the buzz of the bell going off, my head turned toward the side door. Visitors to Blackwell Manor almost exclusively entered through this door.  \nPerhaps Jettson had arrived with a delivery of coal. But it wasn’t Thursday, and Jettson kept to his schedule.  \nI frowned further at the only other possibility that came to mind. Gretel. The servant from Clinemell Manor was one of the few who popped her head in. Her curly, blonde nuisance of a head.  \nBut there was no tall, leggy blonde peeking through the grated window in the door. I had to shake my head, reminding myself that whoever it was, had used the front door and therefore it couldn’t possibly be any of the individuals I normally dealt with.  \nThe bell buzzed again, like a jolt of sharp static. An empty dish rattledon the counter. I climbed up the stairs, the bell echoing in the empty halls of the cold manor. Frost still lined the ground this time of year, and no fires were lit.  \nI continued to follow the noise of the bell, rolling my eyes when the intruder switched to knocking. If I’d had it my way, I’d still be downstairs, reading.  \n“Yes!” I replied to the front door and secretly hoped the person on the other side heard my irritation.“All right!” I cried back when the knocking only increased.  \nI questioned if I had accidentally left the front gate open. Blackwell Manor faced out onto the street, and it would not do if someone had slipped in. At best, someone would trash the garden. At worst, they’d try to break in and scavenge for whatever they thought they could find.  \nNot many would dare to break into a manor, but by then it’d become well known that the master of Blackwell Manor had deceased nearly six months ago. Luckily, just the name, Blackwell, had kept most people at bay. Scavengers had at least some sense not to wreck such an esteemed family’s property.  \n“Is someone there?” The voice was muffled thanks to the great door.  \nI must admit I hesitated, torn between hiding below or squaring my shoulders. Most knew me in town, and they’d expect nothing less. The servant of Blackwell Manor, kept her spine straight at all times.  \nThe hearth in the front parlor hadn’t seen a fire in six months, but there was a heavy iron bar previously used to stoke it. The cold material bit into my skin and nearl","cbCaibv5s0kUnUwC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibv5s0kUnUwC","pdf",5502340,11,179,"English","en",105,"# Chapter 1\n## The interrupted reading\n## The front door confrontation","[{\"question\":\"Why does the heroine dread the front bell?\",\"answer\":\"She hates being interrupted while reading, and the bell’s sound signals unexpected visitors.
