I don't think there is a way to force black to loose, at least given they play well. Obviously if they take the queen they loose, but if they move a pawn forward they can keep playing indefinitely.

For certain values of indefinitely. White can force an exchange of Queen for rook and Knight, which definitely seals Black's fate.
