This was a great story about two people who have a sense of loneliness in their lives.
Samantha's twin is getting married and she feels like she is loosing her other half. She has no one to confide in and isn't looking to share her thoughts with her other siblings.
Elijah just lost his grandfather who was his confident and partner in traveling. He is left with his grandfather's vast collections. He has decided to donate it all to a museum.
The two meet on the road to the estate where Jude is getting married. They sensed a connection from the start. They decided to serve as distractions for each other for the week.
I loved this book. Eli is such a gentle soul and so caring. Sam is outgoing and knows what she wants but is softhearted too.

Two people who have been abandoned by the death of one parent and the desertion of another find they have more in common than not. When Elijah (Eli) Watson, the Marquis of Ridgefield stops his carriage to help a poor girl stuck out in the rain little did he know that Samantha (Sam) Pengarden would turn out to be the love of his life.
They both are attending the same wedding. She as the twin sister of the bride and he as a guest who is hoping to meet with the groom to donate his grandfather's antiquities to the groom's museum. As two lonely people they join together to become friends. She will introduce him around and he will keep away unwanted suitors along with the father who suddenly decided to meet the daughters that he never knew. Their attraction is obvious enough that Sam's sister and future brother-in-law decide to encourage Elijah to leave. Unfortunately, Sam doesn't know it was her sister's idea and so she feels abandoned once again.
A few month's later, they meet again in London where Sam is being propositioned at a ball. She once again encourages Eli to escort her around town not knowing that people are assuming he is doing it to make her his mistress. That is the farthest thing from his mind. He is hoping to marry her but she is just wanting to get him involved so she can leave him the way he left her.
The story is well written and the reader truly feels for the characters and can understand their worry about being abandoned by those they chose to love. They not only allow themselves to be open to love and trust, they also truly learn how forgiveness can open the heart to love.
I received an advanced copy of this book in return for an honest review.
