He was my best friend's dad. My new client. The man whose wedding I was hired to plan… and secretly ruin. The night I met him, I was at rock bottom. Drenched, broke, and fresh off a soul-crushing breakup, I was looking for a drink, not a man. But the bartender in the empty hotel lounge was a force of nature—older, powerful, and with eyes that saw right through me.

H.G. Wells is best known for his science fiction, but some of his greatest works were in other genres. "The Passionate Friends" is a love story. It also is a story about dreams, despair, jealousy, sex, the struggle against social convention, the future of civilization, and much much more. It is written by a father to his son, "not indeed to the child you are now, but to the man you are going to be." He writes it so that one day, perhaps when he is dead, his grown son can read it and rediscover him as a friend and equal.
