When Nat Raskin takes on what seems to be an easy estate appraisal for a wealthy Memphis family, she never expects to unearth a valuable set of eleven antique chairs. And she certainly doesn’t expect to get caught in a conflict between two families, one wealthy and white, the other poor and Black, over the ownership of the missing twelfth chair.
Meanwhile, Nat’s high school sweetheart has returned to Memphis, after getting divorced and losing his job as a lawyer for Warner Music in Nashville. The spark reignites instantaneously between them, but with both on unsteady footing, Nat may be in for more than she bargained for.
Who owns the twelfth chair-and how far is that family willing to go to claim it? And when the spark of romance bursts into flame, who will get burned?
