"Having been the jilted bride once before, Noelle Jensen, a student at Northern Arizona University, has put her life smoothly back on track. Expecting a ring from her boyfriend, Chase, she is devastated when Chase instead proposes to her sister and roommate, Mindy, who recently returned home from serving a Church mission. Even though he enjoys dating, Pierce Morgan is afraid of commitment. Understandably, since four years ago, his parents split while Pierce was serving his mission. His father's inactivity created a rift between them even before then, but learning of Jared Morgan's sudden reactivation and new marriage now threatens to sever their ties completely. Pierce's good intentions to comfort Noelle backfire when she unwittingly becomes ensnared in his family's dispute. Noelle's family, on the other hand, worries that she's falling for a charmer's scheme. And what about Chase? Is he really as honorable as he seems? Is there any hope for their family relationships to be mended? Can Pierce and Noelle trust their hearts and overcome their fears to allow their unexpected yet more meaningful love for each other develop? What will it take for them to be Pierced by Love?" --
