About the Author

Kayla N. Jones is a contemporary/romance author, a poet, and novice screenwriter. She likes to write about the vulnerable things that most people aren't brave enough to talk about. Usually, you'll find her glued to her laptop, but sometimes you can find her reading a good book, drinking a warm cup of coffee or hanging out with her husband and dog.

Looking for a new summer romance?

Hold Me As I Land is an adult contemporary romance that's perfect for fans of Stella's Got Her Groove Back, Only For The Week, and Before I Let Go!

The story follows our main character, Serenity Hayes, after she is left at the altar by her college sweetheart. To escape the embarrassment and mend her broken heart, she goes on her honeymoon to Jamaica with her best friend instead.

She believes that love just isn't in the cards for her until she comes across the sexy and alluring Apollo Brown. Over the course of two weeks, they fall harder for each other, despite trying to stay away.

But when secrets start coming to light, and Serenity's life starts to fall apart, will she be able to fight for a second chance at love and, more importantly, herself?
