This short story is an introduction to the series.
Time is running out for Zackary Hudson. He has a fierce desire to reunite with his estranged sons, but they're proving difficult to find. He hires a private investigator and the search begins in earnest.
Review: Wow, this book was unexpected in many ways. I loved the writing and the setup of the stories to come. An absolute great start to this series and I can't wait to read the next book.

Well the ending had me on pins and needles. I can't wait to read the next book.
I received this book as a gift from the author. I had won a contest a few months back.
Zack's one desire is to see his sons. He has not seen them in many years. So his search is on along with his wife Bianca. So much happens in this short story. Yes, it is short but it does pack a punch, after all this is a Prologue.
I'm not going to say anything more about it, but to get the whole picture this is the place to start.
Thank you Lorraine for being a great writer
5 stars One of today’s best new authors, October 8, 2014 By Michelle Fayard (Willow Springs, MO) This review is from: The Inheritance (The Hudson Ranch Series Book 1) (Kindle Edition)
Once again, Lorraine Nelson, one of today’s best new authors, has created a series that reflects her trademark gifts for writing romantic suspense set against an intriguing backdrop—this time a working horse ranch in the Canadian west—and filled with engrossing dialogue and characters so unforgettable you’ll quickly forget you’re reading fiction.
The titles in this series—one book for each of the triplet brothers—skillfully and memorably champion the theme that families are at their best when they stick together and that families—and love—are forever. And no one has more opportunities to overcome obstacles than these three, who were separated shortly before their teens and sent to different foster homes. A quirk of fate reunites the three with the challenge of a lifetime—move immediately to a faraway place, bring a large spread from the red into the black within a year and, oh yes, raise the two-year-old stepbrother you’ve never heard about until today. Too easy, if you’re one of the Hudson brothers!
The fast-paced plot has the warmth of a Julie Garwood novel, as Nelson deftly shows her similar talent for creating and portraying family members who take whatever gets carried their way with humor, love and a dose of feistiness. The women they fall in love with join the battle to save the ranch from those who would deny the Hudsons their inheritance. Suspects abound, and the ending will leave you cheering to see the bad guys caught—but wishing the series would never end.
An added bonus is the original hand-drawn cover art that graces each title in the series, illustrations done by Sharon Wilson-Dupuis, Nelson’s sister.
This is a great prologue to an excellent series.

This story was amazing! I can not wait to dig into this series. The characters are easy to like and the ones you don't get to meet you can't wait to read more about. Lorraine Nelson has an amazing voice and knows how to bring the characters and locations alive for the reader. I experienced many emotions in a short period of time which is the best feeling in the world when reading a great story.
5 stars Great Start to a New series ! 20 Oct 2013 By Kath (sunshine) Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is the first I have read by Lorraine Nelson and the first book in this series, it was Free and I thought I would give her work a try as friends had recommended this author to me.
I was not disappointed, the book is very well written, and the story just draws you in. Although the tale is that of a tragic one it sets the foundations for what is yet to come, and I can't wait to read what happens next.
Looking forward to reading more from Ms Nelson
5 stars Great start September 23, 2013 By Charlie'sGirl02 Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a short beginning to the big story. I found it had a good start but I think there should've been more about the characters to make u care about them before to much started happening.
The man is told he has cancer and not much time to live. He instantly begins Making plans to go locate the sons he has not seen in years and who are now grown up. He want them to know that he loves them. I`m wondering what will happen once he gets to see his sons face to face? Will they want anything to do with the ranch or the new family? Also can the father and sons pick up from where they left off many years ago? I think this story is off to a great start and I can't wait to see what will happen next.
5 stars wonderful start to a new series September 22, 2013 By David Ramsey Format:Kindle Edition Inheritance
Zack Hudson owns and operated the Hudson Ranch. His wife and toddler son live there and help out as well. When he went to the doctors he was not expecting to get news that would change the coarse of his life forever. Telling his wife he is going to die would be one of the hardest things he would ever have to do. Finding his sons would be the next hardest. Separated from his ex-wife and not being able to see his sons broke his heart. Now he has to find his sons and make sure they know that their dad loved them and to welcome them back to the ranch. If he can find them, what will they think,say or believe? If the chemo works, will he be able to have a relationship with his sons? So many unanswered questions and so little time.
Lorraine gives a GREAT start to a new series. What a bunch of twists and turns you don't expect. I can't wait to see where she takes us on this new journey. Wonderful 5 star start!

5.0 out of 5 stars NEW Series by Lorraine Nelson Will Leave You Breathless!
By SilentReader on September 18, 2013 Format: Kindle Edition
I strongly urge you to go grab a copy to find out what the fuss is all about. I'm not one for giving away details of the story but as always, I will do my best to convince you that you NEED to read this book.
In this new series by Lorraine Nelson, which has beautiful cover-art, she introduces us to the Hudsons. If you are familiar with Lorraine's Thunder Creek Ranch Series and the Manning family, then you already know how incredibly amazing her families are. Each features strong female leads, HOT ranchers and families that we all wish we knew personally. The Inheritance and the Hudsons are no different.
The Inheritance brings us Zackary Hudson, a man who's "clock is ticking", Bianca and Jeremiah, Zack's new wife and young toddler, and the search for Zack's three oldest children...triplets...and from the sounds of it, just as sexy as their father.
We find ourselves involved in the hunt to reunite a father kept away from his sons by an angry, vindictive ex-wife and though we are given thoughts and feelings of each of the main characters (even an insight into Zack's lawyer/friend, Bart)...it deepens the story and creates a "hit-home" scenario on an incredibly personal subject.
I believe many readers, women and men alike will love this family. Their struggles, hopes and dreams are so believable, palpable that I became hooked from the get-go. The urgency is evident from the first page and the ending of this short story/introduction to The Hudson Ranch Series will...leave...you...breathless and dying to get your hands on the next book! I can honestly say...I NEVER saw this coming. Lorraine has crafted an entirely new addiction for me and I cannot wait to get my hot-little-hands on Book 2.
Way to go, Lorraine! This reader LOVED it and as always you pushed beyond my expectations!

I loved this first story but it was way too short. I was drawn in hook, line and sinker from the beginning. I could anticipate how the reunion would go with father and sons. Way too short, but a good start to a promising series.
