Octavia: tall lovely hospital nurse. She accepts a temporary assignment as nurse on a cruise ship where she is surprised to find the senior doctor is the large handsome Dutch man who had carried an elderly mugging victim into her Casualty ward a week or so earlier. Lucas offers Octavia a marriage of convenience because his 9-year-old daughter needs a mother (hers died so long ago that she doesn't remember her) and Octavia accepts.
