You should look into ActiveModel http://railscasts.com/episodes/219-active-model
This will allow you to create model that has certain ActiveRecord like capabilities like validations without the need for a database. Look at the mail_form gem (https://github.com/plataformatec/mail_form/blob/master/lib/mail_form/shim.rb) for another example. (The mail_form gem is described in detail in the 'Crafting Rails Applications', previously mentioned by JB.)
