Some loves don't burn fast; they smolder for decades.

Joel Murphy is sixty-four years old when he sits down in a small Colorado coffee shop to wait for the woman he has loved for more than forty years. They have met only a handful of times -- brief, imperfect encounters stretched across a lifetime -- but each meeting has left an indelible mark on his heart.

As the night unfolds, Joel begins telling his story: a summer in 1968, a broken-down bus, a small-town fair, and a young woman named Christine who changed everything. What begins as an innocent connection between two young souls soon becomes something far more complicated -- shaped by timing, choices, distance, duty, and the quiet betrayals that life sometimes demands.

Told through alternating timelines, The Fourth Sunrise is a tender, deeply human love story about first love, missed chances, emotional fidelity, and the question that never truly goes away: What if?

This is not a whirlwind romance. It is a story about longing. About restraint. About the kind of love that refuses to die, even when it must remain unfinished.

Heartfelt, reflective, and profoundly intimate, The Fourth Sunrise is a novel for readers who believe that some love stories are meant to last a lifetime... even if they can never fully be lived.
