Recommended Reading Order for the Bridge Series
The Bridge series by Meredith Wild is best read in its original publication order. Each novel in this contemporary romance trilogy shifts the spotlight to a different Bridge sibling—Cameron, Darren, and Olivia—as they navigate their high-stakes careers, personal struggles, and intense love lives in New York City. Reading the books in sequence ensures you follow the timeline of their family dynamics and subplots correctly.
- On My Knees (March 2014) - Focuses on Cameron Bridge, a haunted military veteran, and Maya Jacobs.
- Into the Fire (June 2016) - Focuses on Darren Bridge, a dedicated firefighter, and Vanessa Hawkins.
- Over the Edge (November 2016) - Focuses on Olivia Bridge, an ambitious businesswoman, and her complex love triangle.
Publication Order vs. Chronological Order
Because the main storyline progresses chronologically across the three novels, the publication order is also the chronological order. There are no prequels or timeline-bending spin-offs that alter the narrative flow. Readers should start with On My Knees to understand the family background and the tension between the siblings before diving into the individual love stories of Darren and Olivia in the subsequent novels.
The Core Books in the Trilogy
On My Knees (2014)
The series kicks off with Cameron's story. Haunted by his experiences as a soldier and the loss of his first love, Cameron crosses paths again with Maya Jacobs, who is stuck in a stagnant routine. Their intense second-chance romance establishes the emotional tone and family backdrop for the rest of the series.
Into the Fire (2016)
The second book shifts focus to Darren, a passionate firefighter who leads a relatively carefree life until he meets Vanessa Hawkins during a wedding getaway. Their instant spark turns into a fiery relationship that tests Darren's independence and commitment.
Over the Edge (2016)
The final book centers on the bold entrepreneur Olivia Bridge. She finds herself in a steamy love triangle, caught between Ian, a charismatic firefighter, and Will, an arrogant and powerful investor. This installment resolves the siblings' arcs and finishes the series with high romantic tension.
