“Please.” Manny’s voice was ragged. “She would be a good wife to you.”
“You have no way of knowing that. And this is America—we don’t have arranged marriages.” He locked his hand over Manny’s and pulled it free.

Cash blew out a breath. “Look, I’m sorry. I understand you’re worried about your daughter, but you need to find another way to help her.”
Manny thrust the photo into Cash’s palm. “Just keep the picture. Think about it.”
Cash closed his hand around the photo, heart thumping. Thoughts of his growling stomach fled. “Go on in and get breakfast. Momma will have it waitin’.”
The ranch hand seemed to shrink in his clothes, defeat bearing down on him. “Okay. Just think about it, Cash.”
Yeah, he already was. Too much.
