Nothing ruins your day like getting hit by an ice cream truck.

For Amara Lyselle, a 24-year-old history professor tired of her routine, life comes to an abrupt end just when she decides to indulge in some luxury chocolate. But instead of a peaceful afterlife, Amara finds herself thrust into an alternate world that looks a lot like hers except she’s now one of the rivals vying for the affection of the world’s dashing hero.

As if being dead and reincarnated as a romantic antagonist wasn’t bad enough, she has to navigate a confusing new reality with the help of an annoying "system" that seems to have a personality of its own. The good news? She has a second chance at life. The bad news? She has no idea how to survive in this strange world, avoid falling into ridiculous romantic drama, or even get back to her old life if that’s even possible.

Life After Death by Ice Cream

The plane descended through the clouds, the city below growing larger and more familiar with every passing moment. Amara stared out the window, her chin resting in her palm. Next to her, Elara was flipping through a glossy in-flight magazine with mild disinterest, occasionally glancing at Amara.

"You've been quiet," Elara said, nudging her gently with her elbow. "Planning your next sarcastic comment, or just dreading your parents' interrogation?"

Amara snorted, turning to face her. "A bit of both. You know how they are. My dad will probably ask if we're secretly married, and my mom—" She paused, her lips twitching. "Well, she'll probably cry and tell you how much she's always wanted a daughter-in-law who can act."

Elara laughed, though a twinge of nervousness flickered in her eyes. "I can handle your mom. It's your dad I'm worried about. He looks at me like I'm a stray puppy you brought home and forgot to return."
