Second Best Again by Raegan Salander

For twenty years, she built her life around Ronin – the man she met in university, the father of her son, the partner she thought she knew. But one winter afternoon, a chance glimpse through a café window shatters everything she’s clung to.
Reeling from betrayal and years of quietly diminishing herself, she walks away from the home they shared, from the son who doesn’t understand, and from the woman she’s become. As she tries to rebuild a life on her own terms, she must face the hardest truth: she has always been second best in Ronin’s heart and maybe in her son’s, too.

Tender, raw, and unflinching, Second Best again is the story of a woman learning to choose herself, even if it means starting over with nothing but her own name.
