Fans arguing for Lara Raith as Harry's partner are missing the point.
Lara's offer was, to Harry, another version of Marcone's in the early books. Marcone made a generous offer for Harry's services which would be appealing to an impoverished P.I. struggling to pay rent, but Harry refused out of principle. Harry made it clear he'll die poor before taking a dime of his money.
Lara, being explicitly Marcone's rival, is as much a gangster as he is but is an exceptionally attractive women offering more to Harry: "freedom from your burdens of responsibility and conscience." On paper her offer is appealing to a guy who just lost his partner as she would be a lot of guys' dream girl, being "sexier than a Swedish bikini team hiking up a mountain of money." She checks a lot of boxes being extremely beautiful, extremely rich, intelligent, charming with a dark, seductive allure and a badass martial artist who's also (supernaturally) amazing in bed for spice. However, Harry knows she isn't the kind of partner on the inside he's looking for anymore than Marcone was the boss he was looking for. Hence, why he briefly considered suicide.
The contrast in their values can be seen in their treatment of the Wee Folk with Harry forming a symbiotic relationship with them while Lara imprisoned them to be used as lanterns.
Whenever he does take these kinds of deals, it's usually because his hand is forced. Even then, he does not go all in, he names conditions and uses what advantages it gives him before he manages to get out. He didn't want Lash in him, but he didn't give in to her offer of becoming a Denarian. He took Mab's offer of being Winter Knight to save his family, but even then he put in conditions so he wouldn't harm his loved ones and become solely her soulless killing machine. He didn't want the grey cloak given by Luccio, but he ultimately used his position to save a teenager from losing her head. He doesn't want to marry Lara, but he'll likely bite the bullet like with the rest and get out of the marriage eventually.
It's possible he may even refuse her offer of sex as he did Marcone's money. He still may keep a candle for Karrin as her true love mark makes Lara unable to touch him, and if he avoids the kiss at the wedding which Bob pointed out seals the deal, then the protection could remain. At the end of the day, Harry won't sell out. He walks at the edge of the abyss, but never jumps in.

Murphy: I will go find us a ride if you two can manage not to kill each other while I'm gone.
Goodman Grey: Oh, please. We're not children.
Murphy: *skeptical look, but walks away*
Harry: Eat shit and die.
Goodman Grey: Yes, fuck you.
*they both start giggling hysterically*

I'm reading Fool Moon right now and just finished chapter 12 and Murphey just arrested Harry, and like does she know that when you're arresting someone you don't need to beat them up, it's not like he was fighting also she beat him up and then she read his rights, didn't even tell him he was being arrested 'till after she beat him.
And I feel like you're supposed to feel bad for her! Like oh no miscommunication has resulted in her getting the wrong impression and arresting him, but I don't care. Like sure Harry is a wizard and might fight back, but like I said earlier he didn't.
I heard she's one of the best characters in the series, but she didn't show up much last book and I am not getting the best impressions from her in this one. Like she's supposed to be one of the "good cops" but like she's just doing police brutality💀

Murphy: Did you tell anyone we're dating? Harry: Yes, Karrin, I have absolutely no self control and I told the whole city we're dating. Murphy: Okay no need for sarcasm. Harry: No really I have no self control and I told the whole city we're dating...

So you know how I keep saying if we forcefemmed Harry Dresden, we could fix him?
Well.
Join me on this journey of fucking the dysphoria out of an ostensibly cisgender man. Chapters posted every other day assuming I don't forget.

She frowned at me. "You need some rest. You look like hell. And you're obviously tired enough to have gotten the giggles."
"Wizards don't giggle," I said, hardly able to speak. "This is cackling."

Currently re-listening to the Dresden Files and this may be an unpopular opinion but I super dislike Susan. Like GIRL this story is not worth your life, CHILL OUT.
