Whether an area is or is not dessert does not have any effect on the length of the seasons there. Summer and Winter will cover the same time span in a desert as it does for any other area at the same latitude. What is different is the weather in a desert in the summer and the winter. Because deserts are dry, the humidity is very low and cloud cover is less. This leads to wider temperature swings between daytime and nighttime temperatures. During the summer, the temperatures could be brutally hot during the day and yet drop to uncomfortably cold temperatures at night. During the winter it might be only moderately cold during the day but then drop to brutally cold during the night. Depending on the type of desert, Winter may also be the season with the highest precipitation - although being a desert, getting "more" precipitation may still not amount to very much.
In broad terms, Summer lasts about 3 months and Winter lasts about 3 months in the desert. If you get to extreme northern latitudes or extreme southern latitudes, the effective Summer and Winter seasons (i.e. months with "summer weather" and months with "winter weather") get longer with shorter Spring and Fall in between, but that is a function of the latitude, not the desert environment. In Antarctica is considered a desert with annual precipitation of only 200 mm (8 inches) along the coast and far less inland. Down in Antarctica it gets closer to being effectively 5 months of Summer and 5 months of Winter.
