Wendy writes Historical Romance with a touch of intrigue & suspense. Her debut series, a trilogy about three Ladies who refuse to play by society's rules, was released by Entangled Scandalous in 2015. Her first indie, Her Duke at Daybreak, finaled in Romance Writers of America®'s RITA® contest.

Quotes by Wendy LaCapra  (?)

“He cradled her burning cheek and his rough fingers chafed. He radiated more heat than a bustling inn’s kitchen—and his warmth was every bit as alluring. Comfort, his body promised. Care and sustenance.”
Wendy LaCapra, Lady Vice

“Maddening, he was. And oh-so-attractive, blast her penchant for mysterious eyes.
…and muscular thighs.
…and squared shoulders.
…and a scent so enticing she wanted to take a bite out of his shoulder.”
Wendy LaCapra, Lady Scandal

“The Maximilian of her memory ceased to exist next to the real man. The former was a simple penny-lute tune. In the flesh, Max was the King’s Theater orchestra playing Haydn.”
Wendy LaCapra, Lady Vice

“Crazy was a river you just floated along on. - KC Klein”

“I do not fix problems. I fix my thinking. Then problems fix themselves.”
Louise Hay

“She whispered his name—the name he had never been called until he had found her here. The consonants shivered across his skin, an incantation marking him as hers.”
Wendy LaCapra, Lady Scandal
