Interesting thought.
I tend to think not - IMO Lara would just get Harry's life force rather than Winter's power, and when Harry died, the Mantle would go back to Mab (or maybe Molly) to bestow on a new Knight.
I'm not sure if eating Winter power would necessarily be incompatible with/harmful to Whampires, but I think the Mantle has to be protected from things like that. There are too many things in the DV that feed on life energy in some way.
--- Quote ---Also look at what Molly did to poor Carlos. I don't think Thomas would've come out of that much better.

That's a Lady-specific issue (because it is the Maiden aspect of the Maiden/Mother/Crone thing) -- the Knight mantles don't work like that.
Walter the skull:
Molly's issue is definitely an issue unique to the ladys. I totally agree. I was just using that as an example of the mantles' having a defense mechanism. I don't know. I think you bring up an interesting idea. The mantle might be immune from losing energy to a wampire, but the rest of Harry could be vulnerable. The Knight mantle is definitely less important than Lady's mantle it might not have any built in defense.
Conspiracy Theorist:
In rescuing Thomas as a favour, it will be in accordance with the Mantle DESPITE Mab’s publicly professed position during the peace talks themselves. This is why Mab did it, she can manipulate everyone without telling a lie.
Remember that Luccio knows about Thomas, I think this is the major betrayal, she tells the Merlin and he sets up the situation where Harry and Eb have to throw down over Thomas. What neither Luccio or the Merlin know is that Eb is Harry and Thomas’ grandfather. Mab knows, she is engineering this confrontation to cause a split in the White Council, probably to get rid of Christos and the Merlin, making Eb the new Merlin or the formal creation of the Grey Council as a new supernatural nation under the Accords taking Eb, Harry, Listens To Wind(I can’t help thinking this is a Blazing Saddles joke by Jim) Martha Liberty the Paranet and all the young wardens with him, splitting off the new world from the old.
The tag team of Lara and Mab suggests this type of machination by Mab, remember she had her own daughter killed in a similar circuitous fashion, and destroyed Nicodemus in a similar indirect fashion. I suspect one of the favours was Lara introducing Mab to Marcone prior to Skin Game as being interested in revenge on Nicodemus.

That said, the number of relationships is probably small and I can see the Winter Mantle making it hard to gain protection. There's an element of supernatural coersion there that could qualify in the same way Luccio's coercion or Billy/Georgia's it can't be truw love while they're married to someone else thing. Harry is Mab's consort after all.

No, it doesn't, that was the point of her having same sex sex back in Ghost Story. Any sex killed her protection so she could then have sex with Thomas. The sex act with someone else kills the true love protection from the White Court. My question is, one can fall in love more than once, is it always considered "true love?"
Arjan:
That porn movie director from blood rites fell in love all the time. I do not think there are hard rules, some people have just more capacity for true love than others.
