文档介绍：Miranda Lee - [Three Rich Husbands 02] - The Billionaire's Bride of Convenience
CHAPTER ONE
SEVERAL heads turned as the three men made their way into the main bar of the clubhouse. Other
men as well as women glanced their way, their gazes carrying a mixture of envy and admiration.
It wasn’t just because these three were rich. Most members of the Sydney Royal Golf Club were
wealthy. The attention they instantly drew, especially from women, was more basic than that.
Cavewomen had invariably been attracted to cavemen who could best protect and provide for them;
physically blessed alpha males whose prepotent genes ensured strong offspring.
A modern woman might imagine she chose her mates differently; that she was attracted to other
attributes such as kindness and a good sense of humour. Recent research, however, showed that was
false thinking. Apparently, the most attractive quality a man could possess was tallness.
The male trio striding through the bar-room were all tall. If that wasn’t enough to give them an
advantage over most members of their sex, they were also handsome and dark-haired and, yes, very
rich indeed.
The man who headed straight for the bar and who was obviously going to buy the first round of drinks
was Hugh Parkinson, only son and heir to the Parkinson Media fortune. Thirty-six years old, Hugh
was Sydney’s most eligible bachelor, a well-known man-about-town with a plethora of past
girlfriends, none of whom—amazingly—had a bad word to say about him. A natural charmer, he
devoted his life to the pursuit of pleasure, to remaining single and doing only as much work as
strictly necessary.
His two golfing buddies were not cut from the same ilk. Both bordered on being workaholics, were
married and had been moulded by past experiences into much tougher men.
