Addition is the bestselling debut novel of Toni Jordan, author of Fall Girl and Nine Days. Grace is witty, flirtatious and headstrong. She's not a bit sentimental but even so, she may be about to lose track of the number of ways she can fall in love.

‘Sensuously written, fabulously entertaining and a love story that cuts into the soul.’ West Australian

Grace counts everything: the steps she takes, the groceries she buys, the bristles in her toothbrush…You might say she has a thing about numbers. Then she meets Seamus, who has the sexiest hands Grace has ever seen and who thinks she might be better off without the counting. If she could hold down a job, say. Or open her kitchen cupboards without conducting an inventory.

So now Grace has a thing about numbers and a thing about Seamus.

Something’s got to give.
