23... Ke7 24. Nd6+
Joanne Resigns here for purpose of explanation I'm going to show up to move 28. Kd8 leads to mate after 25. Bg5+ Re7 26. Bxe7+ Kc7 27. Bg5+ leading to the earlier mate.

24... Kf8 25. Bh6+
The finisher!

 
25... Kg8 26. Rg7+
Black now would have two options one mate the other lose of queen and a very precarious position. Kf8 27. Rf1+ Qf7 28. Rxf7# is the mate option.

 
26... Kh8 27. Nf7+ Qxf7 28. Rxf7
The final position after all the calculations I made back on 22.Qxa2.
