Lara and Harry
Lord Kinbote:
I happened to be re-reading Changes this week, and it turns out that the Fae can "lull [a Red Court vampire] predator spirit to sleep." The Leanansidhe claims to have done that with the "vampire part" of Susan and Martin when she rendered them unconscious. As you'd expect in the context, there's no discussion of whether the ability also extends to White Court demons but Lea speaks broadly of vampires.
My money is on the White Court demon being unable to affect Harry as the WK, Mab giving Harry a charm that lulls a WC demon to sleep, or something to the same effect. In such a case, with the WC demon's effects canceled, there would be no reason for Lara to blister (regardless of whether Harry's love for Murphy would still protect him from a WC vampire with her dead) and consummation of the marriage will occur as Mab likely requires.

Yes, she did, however when Harry pressed her on it since he wanted a cure for Susan, Lea got more vague and started to fish for a bargain for information about what she did. However she didn't say it was a cure, so Harry declined to bargain. Also as a couple of us pointed out, Red Court Vamps are very different from White Court Vamps.

Hope you didn't bet very much!
1. We've seen in PT & BG that Harry is still susceptible to Whamp-mojo. He always notices, points out to Lara something to the effect that she's being rude, and Lara tamps it down; but we've seen that WK-Harry is absolutely affected.
2. I'm quite sure I've seen WoJ that the Whampire-sex-thing and the WK-mantle-sex-thing don't "cancel out" at all; it's rather the opposite, it's more like they are additive... an explosive combination.

Not sure if anyone not in love is immune

Well, it is complicated, because being in love doesn't always mean true love. Falling in love can be merely the emotion and or sexual attraction of the moment, where as true love is something deeper and not easily undone.. Which is another glitch in the system if you will, how easily the true love protection is wiped out by a simple sexual transgression.. In other words, a person can be truly in love with someone, have a one night stand that is purely physical with someone else, remain truly in love with that original someone, but because of that one night stand lose their protection.
