The Unexpected Rescue

In Rescuing Harley by Susan Stoker, we are introduced to Harley Kelso, a video game coder who is working on a new game. Harley is an independent and introverted woman who prefers to keep to herself, living a quiet and unassuming life. She decides to take a leap out of her comfort zone and try tandem skydiving to make her game more realistic.

However, her skydiving experience goes awry when her instructor has a heart attack mid-air. Harley, who is strapped to the instructor, is forced to take control of the situation and perform a successful parachute landing. She saves her own life and that of the instructor, but the experience leaves her traumatized and with a fear of heights, causing her to retreat further into her shell.
