Using the corrected position:
[D]6k1/8/5Q2/8/8/8/3p1pp1/3Kbrrb w - -
With help from Fritz:

1.Qe7 Kh8 2.Qg5 Kh7 3.Qe5 Kg8 4.Qf6 Kh7 5.Qf8 Kg6 6.Qe7 Kh6 7.Qf7 Kg5 8.Qe6 Kf4
9.Qd5 Kg4
   [9...Ke3 10.Qc4 Kf3 11.Qd4 Kg3 12.Qe4 Kh3 13.Qe6+ as below]

10.Qe5 Kf3 11.Qd4 Kg3 12.Qe4 Kh3 13.Qe6+ Kg3
   [13...Kh4 14.Qg6 as below but one move earlier]

14.Qf5 Kh4 15.Qg6 Kh3 16.Qg5 Kh2 17.Qh4#


(It has been posted that 10.Qd7+ works as well.)
