What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

This is one of those books I “intended” to read. I read the opening years ago and was hooked from the first paragraph. Planning to buy it as soon as humanly possible, I quickly wrote down the title. Then I lost it just as quickly. Of course.

All I remember was in that opening, someone was pounding on a door, annoying the ever-lovin’ crap out of the heroine. Her line was something like, “…someone was getting their ass kicked. Whether is was the person pounding on the door or me remained to be seen.”

That is literally all I remember about the book. I just recall loving the heroine immediately and really wanting to read her story. I have tried every search imaginable and have come up with zilch every time. Any help would be appreciated.

PS, I am an author but I promise I'm not spamming! I really want to find this book. :)

Not sure if this is close enough, but Stray by Rachel Vincent opens with the line:

"The moment the door opened I knew an ass-kicking was inevitable. Whether I'd be giving it or receiving it was still a bit of a mystery."

However, the door opening doesn't have anything to do with someone knocking.

THAT'S IT!!! I saw your post on SBTB and responded there as well, Juels. THANK YOU! I have no idea where I got the door knocking from. Oy.

You're welcome. Happy to help.
