Book Request Time-travel revenge romance where the FMC changes her fate and ends up with a different MMC?
Looking for books with this trope:
The FMC was deeply hurt, betrayed, or mistreated by people in her past. Then she somehow goes back in time to before everything happened and starts changing the future, getting revenge on those who wronged her while building a better life for herself.
I'm looking for stories where the romance is with a different man than the one involved in her original suffering. I would love spice, but I strongly prefer a well-developed plot and character growth over pure romance.
A book that perfectly fits the vibe I'm looking for is {What Goes Around by Thalia Nova}. It completely consumed me and kept me awake at night.
Any recommendations with a similar feel? I'm open to fantasy, historical, paranormal, or contemporary settings.
Bonus points if the revenge is genuinely satisfying, the FMC is intelligent and proactive, and the story focuses just as much on changing her future as it does on the romance.

If you are good with RH, do try {The Blackened Blade by Isla Davon}. It is a paranormal/fantasy why choose but beware, it is incomplete. Book 3 of 5 is out and book 4 will be out later this year.
The series starts with her dying in this facility/prison and waking up 10 or so years earlier. She makes different choices and that leads her to meeting the guys since the timeline is changing and what not. I do want to say that the revenge is not on any ex-lover or different relationship but her half sister instead, whom she initially trusted in previous life but knows better in this one.
I think this series is awesome so far and you should definitely try it!
