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 tension from the unexpected dinner interruption had faded by the time the Rolls-Royce pulled up to the Lyselle estate. The night air was crisp, the city lights stretching far beyond their gated world of wealth and influence.

As soon as they stepped inside, Helena dramatically flopped onto the nearest velvet chaise lounge, one hand over her forehead.

"I have never been so exhausted by a conversation in my life," she sighed.

Amara raised an eyebrow, kicking off her designer heels. "Mother, that's a lie, and we both know it."

Helena waved her off. "Fine. But it was still dreadful." Then, turning to Elara with a bright smile, she said, "You were magnificent, dear. Daughter-in-law indeed."

Elara, who had been sipping from a glass of water one of the house staff had handed her, nearly choked. "Helena—"

Helena gasped, holding a hand to her heart. "Oh, did I say that out loud? My deepest apologies." She winked at Amara. "You've trained her well."
