It's possible that she's in violation of the contract, and will need to return the $20k and self-publish instead. It's also possible that the publisher is overreaching; since they first offered her incentives to remove her other book, I suspect they know that it's not a cut-and-dried case.
We can't sort out the exact details of this case; we can discuss the
