Romance where first love doesn’t work out but next one does?
I’m thinking similar to (SPOILER)……..
ACOTAR where Tamlin turns out to not be the perfect love interest but Rhys is. I’d prefer better writing than Sarah J Mass, but anything with this trope would be great. Thanks!
*Bryony Ashley knows that Ashley Court, the grand estate, is both hell and paradise — once elegant and beautiful, yet shrouded in shadow. After the tragic death of her father, Bryony returns from abroad to find that his estate is to become the responsibility of her cousin Emory. Her family’s estate with its load of debt is no longer her worry. Still, her father’s final, dire warning about a terrible family curse haunts her days and her dreams. And there is something odd about her father’s sudden death…*
*Bryony has inherited the Ashley ‘Sight’ and so has one of the Ashleys. Since childhood the two have communicated through thought patterns, though Bryony has no idea of his identity. Devastated, she believes, that the mysterious stranger is her destiny… the lover-to-be who waits for her now at Ashley Court. Now she is determined to find him. But passion is not all that will greet Bryony upon her return — for the crumbling walls of the old mansion guard dark secrets, tragic memories… and inescapable peril.*

I haven’t read ACOTAR so take my suggestion with a grain of salt…
My suggestion is a very different kind of fantasy. It’s also an older book and but I think it holds up well: [Touch Not the Cat](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/27690.Touch_Not_the_Cat) by Mary Stewart
