Plagiarism suit

In August 2014, Nunes filed a suit in a federal Utah court against schoolteacher Tiffanie Rushton for "plagiariz" her book. Nunes' book, Love to the Highest Bidder, was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office in 1998. Rushton's book is titled A Bid for Love and copies had been sold after it was published online in early 2014. The suit stated, "In converting Ms. Nunes's work into The Auction Deal, added several graphic sex scenes and other adult content to what was originally a Christian novel." Nunes contacted Rushton about the story. Rushton offered multiple conflicting explanations to Nunes and others, including one claim that the book "was developed in a writing group and that she wouldn't pursue publication". Nunes is suing Rushton for plagiarism, defamation, and harassment; and seeking at least $150,000 in damages.
