She has authored dozens of novels, including the Autumn Rain series, the Ariana series, and the Huntington Family series. Nunes also published two picture books, Daughter of a King and The Secret of the King.[2]
Nunes writes mainstream women's fiction, family drama, romance, paranormal romantic suspense, Christian fiction, and LDS fiction.[3] Though she has focused primarily on clean romances and stories revolving around families, she has also published two picture books and a middle-grade chapter book, The Problem With Spaceships: Zero G, the first of an intended series.
She has currently published over three dozen books.
Plagiarism suit
In August 2014, Nunes filed a suit in a federal Utah court against schoolteacher Tiffanie Rushton for "plagiariz[ing]" 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, [Rushton] 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.[4][5]
