Moti on the Water

2019 Writer's Digest First Place Award Winner

A Greek family. An Indian family. A summer wedding on the Aegean coast

Meet Moti Ferreiraspectacularly jinxed from the day she's born.

Saddled with an eccentric mother, she stumbles upon the one man who holds the key to her freedomthe best man at her cousin's upcoming wedding.

All Moti has to do is overcome her fear of water, board a yacht to the Greek Isles, seduce the dreamy Nikos Manolas, and survive two weeks at sea with her oddball family.

The only obstacle Moti doesn't see coming is Alexandros Veronis, the onboard chef and star witness to her awkward mishaps. He transforms onions into chocolate and aroma into nostalgia. Day by day, his alchemy works its magic on Moti. But she's not the only one falling under his spell. Everyone has a secret, growing round and ripe at Chef Alex's table. When the masks fall off, they spill out one by one, and everything blows up in their faces.

Now Moti's truth is exposed, and worse, she's hooked on more than Alex's midnight snacks. But this time, screwing up could be the best thing she's ever done
