The Berklee guide to Jazz Harmony https://www.amazon.com/Berklee-Book-Jazz-Harmony/dp/0876391420 was fantastic. Pick it up from the library if you can.
This is a pretty good one. It's centered around jazz but the concepts are super transferrable. You probably need to be able to read music for it though.
​
Outside of that, I'd guess that almost any book on functional harmony would teach you what you're looking to learn. Hope this helps!
I learned a lot from taking classes and private lessons, as well as self study by reading books and analyzing music. I'm not really aware of that many good resources for jazz theory online unfortunately, but there is this site: http://community.berkleejazz.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
EDIT: I love the Jazz Piano Book, it's not really a theory book but I thought it was great. The author has also written a Jazz Theory Book which a lot people seem to like, but I haven't really gone through it yet. Some other options are the Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony and the Jazz Harmony Book
It's too complex for a post or even a series of posts. You're going to need a book. I'd recommend The Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony and Jazzology. I wouldn't recommend anything by Mark Levine.
Check out the Berklee Book of Jazz Harmony and patiently work your way through it.
