Stephanie Meyer, the author of the hugely successful "Twilight" series, now stands accused of ripping off the storyline for her fourth book by a lesser-known author. Jordan Scott sent a cease and desist letter to the publisher of "Breaking Dawn", the series fourth book, claiming that Meyer's story contains a "striking and substantial similarity" to Scott's book, "The Nocturne".

In the letter, Scott says that her book was published in 2006, which was two years before "Breaking Dawn" hit bookshelves. She also claims that it is no coincidence that many of the scenes are pretty identical. She cites such examples as:

In her extremely detailed letter, Scott claims her book was published in 2006 -- two years before "Breaking Dawn" -- and it's no coincidence that many of the scenes are almost identical. Such as...

• Both books contain a post-wedding sex scene
• Both books contain a scene about a woman who's sick because she's carrying a child with "evil powers"
• Both books contain a scene with the death of the main character's wife

Scott also says that the dialogue in these three scenes and others is very similar.

Meyer's rep, however, dismisses the claims and told TMZ:

"The claim that 'Breaking Dawn' by Stephenie Meyer somehow infringes on an alleged book by someone named Jordan Scott is completely without merit. Neither Stephenie Meyer nor her representatives had any knowledge of this writer or her supposed book prior to this claim."

It'll be interesting to see if this does go to court, and what the judge thinks.
