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

Amara stood at the edge of the Lyselle estate's vast gardens, coffee mug in hand, gazing at the perfectly trimmed hedges and immaculate flower beds. It was rare for her to have a day without meetings, strategy sessions, or thinly veiled corporate combat, but here she was completely unburdened.

"Amara!" a familiar voice boomed from the house. Felix strolled out onto the patio, his hair disheveled and his usual smirk firmly in place. "What are you doing out here? Meditating? Plotting world domination?"

Amara sighed, sipping her coffee. "Neither. Just enjoying the peace while it lasts."

Felix arched a brow. "Peace? In this family? Bold claim."

Before she could respond, her phone buzzed on the garden table. Amara glanced at the screen and groaned. It was a text from Richard Croft.

Croft: We need to discuss the Aurora deal again. Call me.

"Speak of the devil," she muttered, tossing her phone back onto the table.
