Add wine, and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost evaporated, about 1 minute. Add broth and lemon slices, and bring to a boil over medium; cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture is reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in capers. Reduce heat to low, and whisk in remaining 5 tablespoons butter, 1 to 2 pieces at a time, until melted and sauce is creamy, about 2 minutes.
