MYRA GANTRY

Bless Your Heart. You Never Saw Her Coming.

Myra Gantry is a Southern belle with impeccable manners, spontaneous instincts and the unnerving ability to deliver devastating truth while sounding as though she's complimenting you.

Sugar is frequently your first warning.

Bless your heart may be your last.

Myra can charm a room, redirect a conversation and join an outrageous scheme with enthusiasm—particularly when she believes the people behind it are trying to accomplish something worthwhile.

But Myra has something more important than charm.

A conscience.

When a little deception involving a food-plant inspector named Gerard Whiteford stops feeling harmless, Myra discovers there are lines even she doesn't want to cross. What begins as another Seniority caper forces her to look beyond the scheme and see the man standing on the other side of it.

That's Myra.

Funny, flirtatious and occasionally dangerous with a Southern aphorism—but never so committed to the joke that she can't recognize the human being underneath it.

And when Rose wonders whether these people ever go too far?

Myra already has the answer:

“Sugar, it’s a badge of honor with them.”
